Abstract
This article is an examination of Mediaeval culture which was
built up by the Church when Charles the Great appointed the monc
Alkuin to vest the power of his praeceptor. Alkuin led and presided
the feasts of the court and the ćore elements of these feasts were
literature, music and fine arts. This article looks for an anthropological explanation of the feast, which played a main role also in the animist society. With the assumption of the praeceptor as the manager of the court the court was turned into a cultural institute
which played an important role in politics and the administration.
The theology of the haeretcs built up the laicism of the knights, the
chaste and spiritualized love of the knights stems from the theology of these haeretics as the haeretics condemn every form of intercourse, even matrimonial intercourse.
The second part of this article is an examination of the works of
St. John of the Cross and Santa Teresa from Avila who wrote an
abstract style akin to modern poetry for its structure but not for the
theological contents. Finally this article draws the attention of the
reader to the fact that the autobiography was created for literature by
St. Augustin, who wrote his Confessiones. The authobiography assumed an enormous influence to the novel since the XVIIIth Century.
